Almond Crinkle Cookies with Almond Meal

These have got to be one of my favorite cookies as a kid. One of the first cookies I ever made on my own as a kid. So easy to make, no special equipment required and an absolute winner to eat. For me, I have to have a good cup of hot steaming chai with these.

Yup, that’s how I remember mom having her afternoon tea too! One cookie with a cup of chai. We always had the cookie jar with cookies as kids so mom would indulge in just that one cookie every day. I love cookies too but I must admit while my cookie jar is always full I never indulge in a cookie every day. But these are one I do enjoy whenever I make them.

They are my Rhea’s favorite. She loves to make the balls and dip them in sugar. And she loves chewy cookies so these are definitely her absolute treat.

Almond Meal – I use ready almond meal I buy at a local nut shop. But it’s easy to make almond meal at home too. Just pulse blanched almonds in a food processor with some of the sugar until you have a fine powder. In these cookies, the almond meal does not have to be sieved so don’t’ over do it.

Yogurt – I use yogurt so I don’t have to use egg. But you are welcome to replace the yogurt with one egg. The yogurt does give it a nice creamy texture.

Flavoring – I do like to use almond extract to enhance the flavor but you are welcome to use just vanilla or just almonds too

Nut Free? yes of course

While I know we love nuts and I try to add it for my kids as much as possible there are many who can’t have nuts. Just replace the almond meal with the same amount of flower.

Do these cookies spread in the oven.?? And would it give the same result if we used flour instead of the almond meal for those who have a nut allergy? As in would they still be as crinkly and chewy? Thanks !

Hey Veera, Yes the cookies do spread a little. You place the dough balls on the cookie sheet and when baked they are flat. You can use flour instead of almond meal but they won’t spread as much. You can also substitute some almond flour semolina, rice flour or cornstarch. The addition of flour will make them a bit crispier.

Thank you so much for this recipe. We loved these cookies. They are so light and melt in the mouth that we finished a batch instantly. The the texture of almonds is my favorite. Definitely going to make these again.

Ah thank you Frances. Yes we do love the taste and texture of the almonds – gives it that chewy texture. Happy to hear you will be making them more often. Thanks for taking the time to come back and leave this feedback. Appreciate it very much.

This cookie has everything I love in a cookie. It has almond meals which happens to be one my very favorite ingredients and also it is egg less as I like to make most of my bakes without eggs. I love how beautiful the crinkles look and I am bookmarking this recipe to make soon.
